Post subject:  Brake Prices

Hi Folks,

I need to change a leaky front brake cylinder, it has a chip in the bore and is not rebuildable. I also need to change one rear cylinder with a twisted off bleed screw... :oops:

Why are the front wheel cylinders for my '68 Dart 4x the price of the back wheel cylinders? (9" all the way around).

-Mac

I just bought most of this shopping list at RockAuto, and here are the prices I paid. All P/Ns are Raybestos, and I picked the premium option in every case ("PG Plus" shoes, cylinders, etc.):

Spring kit, whole axle, front & rear same, H7170: $5.43/ea
Wheel cylinder, rear, LH=RH, WC34876, $7.85/ea
Wheel cylinder, front right, WC37102, $26.79
Wheel cylinder, front left, WC37103, $26.79
Shoe set, front, 329PG, $22.99
Shoe set, rear, 330PG, $22.79
Hose, flex, front brake, LH=RH, BH36654, $9.48/ea

I didn't buy the self-adjust kits and probably should've for a complete brake renewal. Note I bought the H7170 spring kits rather than the H7130; the 7170 is originally for Dodge Dakota 9" rear brakes, and has some better-designed, heavier-duty springs in the mix, with full compatibility to the older 9" brakes.

Hey Dan. is that in U.S dollars or Canadian? I just like your prices better. Cost of everything in the SF bay area seems to be higher

Post subject:  thx for this kist

thx for this list.

Finally i have a bit of time to work further on my 69 Dart GT.
Needs total rebuild of the brakes before i put it on the road.

i surfed to Rockauto but couln't figure out what parts i needed and what the differences were between them.

so i figure this list will help me out just fine.

no brakes = no green paper = no insurances = no roadlegal car = no fun
i hope to get this done by summer.

thx dan and co

I would love to do the disc brake swap, and I have a 73 Valiant with power discs all lined up as a donor car. Unfortunately I have to get the drums functioning well so I can drive the car home (200 miles from Seminary here in MA) to do the swap.

Of course, taking Hebrew this summer doesn't help my schedule, :wink: nor does the incessant rain in New England this year... :(
